The entertainment news website Digital Spy is reporting the exciting news that Nickelodeon UK, the number one commercial kids TV network in the UK, has announced that Howard Donald has recorded his voice for the popular Nick Jr. series "Wallykazam!"!
As Digital Spy exclusively reveals, the Take That singer will play a mischievous, moustached wizard on a upcoming brand-new special episode of Nickelodeon's hit CG-animated preschool series.
Donald's episode, entitled "Moustache Day", sees Wizard Jeff set Wally and his friends a series of challenges in order to win a delicious treat.
Donald said: "Recording the voice of Wizard Jeff was magic. I really hope that kids and their parents enjoy the character and the voice that I gave him and that the underpants song doesn't drive them mad; it is a very catchy number."
"Wallykazam!" follows the adventures of a troll named Wally and his pet dragon, Norville, who live in a forest with giants, goblins, ogres, sprites and other mythical creatures. Wally uses his magic stick to make words come to life on screen that start with a specific letter, sound or rhyme. Each episode invites preschoolers to discover the magic of words and features a new set of magic words that Wally uses to playfully transform the world around him.
"Wallykazam!" is the first Nick Jr. series that embeds a literacy curriculum into a full-length story, introducing skills such as letter and sound identification, rhyming and vocabulary development. "Wallykazam!" is created by producer/writer Adam Peltzman (Emmy Award-winning "The Backyardigans" and "Bubble Guppies").
"Wallykazam!" airs daily at 4.30pm on Nick Jr. UK and Ireland and at 5:30pm on Nick Jr.+1.

Oni Press Announces "Invader ZIM" Comic Book Series
The North American independent comic book publisher Oni Press has announced and confirmed the exciting news in the following press release that they are producing a "Invader ZIM" comic book series!
The new series is being developed in collaboration with show creator Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon, with the first issue due out on Wednesday 1st July 2015!
Talking about the new "Invader ZIM" comic book series, Vasquez said:
"I'm always confused when people say how much they miss Invader Zim because the show never stopped running in my head, and then I remember everyone else isn't in my head. I try to imagine the world for all those people who don't know what Zim's been up to since the show went off the air and it makes me shudder. How can people live that way? Hopefully this comic helps make the world a better place."
No set creative team has been announced for the series, but show veterans Aaron Alexovich, Eric Trueheart and Rikki Simons are all named to be involved, along with Vasquez. The comedic sci-fi series starred a would-be alien conqueror named Zim posing as a human boy and his faithful but malfunctioning robot GIR.
Below is Oni Press' original press release announcing the fantastic news:
COMIC REVIVAL OF THE LANDMARK ANIMATED SERIES BY JHONEN VASQUEZ
PORTLAND, OR February 18, 2015 – Oni Press, Portland's premier independent comic book publisher, announced today it is collaborating with Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon in producing an ongoing comic book series based on the beloved animated show Invader Zim. The series will explore a new chapter in Zim's Earth invasion and the adventures of GIR, Dib and Gaz. The first comic will release on July 1st, 2015.
"All of us at Oni Press are elated to be bringing the first new Invader Zim stories in years to a rabid fanbase," explained Oni Press Editor in Chief, James Lucas Jones. "Getting to tell those tales with folks from the show like Jhonen, Aaron Alexovich, Eric Trueheart, and Rikki Simons just makes it all the more sweet."
Zim, the diminutive, naïve Irken soldier, is assigned to invade Earth to keep him from disrupting his leaders' plans to expand their empire. Arriving on the unsuspecting planet, he tries to blend in by disguising himself and his malfunctioning robot sidekick GIR as a human boy and his dog. Zim is constantly hounded by his nemesis Dib, who recognizes his alien nature, and Dib's younger sister Gaz.
In 2001 animation fans were introduced to Zim, his oft-foiled plots to enslave the Earth and Jhonen Vasquez's dark, funny universe on Nickelodeon. The show and Vasquez's iconic characters went on to become cult classics with a following to this day. Fans have been waiting for the return of Zim and GIR; now they'll get it in the first all-Zim comic book, part of Nickelodeon's commitment to bring its beloved classic characters to new audiences.
